11/1

Twice-raced filly, creditable third of 8 in maiden (9/4) at this course (7.1f) 15 days ago, having run of race. No forlorn hope.

Form: 23

Bolsena¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| BF

9/2

Promising Kingman filly. Failed to build on debut Haydock second when fifth of 7 in minor event there (8f) on soft ground 175 days ago. Well worth another chance.

70,000 gns yearling, Phoenix of Spain filly. Half-sister to useful 1m-1¾m winner Post Impressionist and 11f winner Whity. Dam, 2-y-o 9f winner who stayed 1¾m, also won over hurdles. Noteworthy newcomer.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Saffie Osborne| T: E Walker

2/1

Third of 5 in minor event (14/1) at this C&D on debut 35 days ago, not knocked about. This Sea The Stars filly should improve.

Form: 3

Rainbows Edge

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

5/2

Night of Thunder filly. Closely related to 6f winner Reminder and half-sister to several winners, including smart 1m-2m winner Call To Mind and smart 2-y-o 7f winner Recorder. Interesting debutante for top yard.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey

4/1

4/1, second of 8 in maiden at this course (7.1f) on debut 15 days ago, never nearer. This Churchill filly should progress so is very much one to consider.

Forecasts

Miss Alpilles (2/1), Rainbows Edge (5/2), Star Jasmine (4/1), Bolsena (9/2), Absolute Star (11/1), Cabrera (14/1), Rasmah (50/1), Fairfax Beauty (200/1)

BOLSENA had shaped up well on her debut at Haydock before failing to land the odds on soft ground there next time so is fancied to bounce back in style here on her return. Course runner-up Star Jasmine also has better days ahead of her and could prove the chief threat to Kevin Ryan's Kingman filly, although newcomers Rainbows Edge and Cabrera could also have a say, especially if the market speaks in their favour.
